This app no longer works. For months I've been unable to play any films. I contacted TCM for help. I received a request for certain details, which I provided. They replied with basic instructions for any issues with the app. I followed them repeatedly to no avail. I reached out to them again and all I received was the standard auto reply, suggesting I check their help center, which I already told them I had done. I reached out yet again. Several days now and not a word from them. I'm disgusted!
After years of no issues, now kaput. Also most movies listed shows streaming not allowed. Cannot log in, won't accept new password when I can get that far, or just get an error message for the app itself. Have reinstalled app & restarted phone numerous times. All to no avail. AT&T (mobile)/DirectTV (formerly AT&T TV service) tells me it's not their issue, but with TCM's app. Hoping to hear from tech support eventually. But from comments I've read, highly doubtful. What a shame.
Have been using this app for years but recently can't play all films. No play button on some, also, must keep logging in only to get error msg or told I don't have a subscription thru xfinity, which I'm paying for. Cable company verified no problem. Been emailing w/TCM developer but never got reply after I answered all their questions & gave examples b4 Thanksgiving. Sure wish I could resolve this issue!!!
